I try to listen to the radio as little as possible. But I still catch a few hours per week regardless.
That said, I think any artist who is doing something original is more worthy of radio airtime than one who is copying others, or comes from a cookie cutter mould.
There have been some artists who came along recently or released new music in the rock or mainstream rock genres that are far more deserving of the limited airtime radio stations have, and that's why Daughtry is finished.
The only question that leaves me with, is why was he ever given a start to begin with? He was repetitive a decade ago, and just a copy of artists that were what record companies thought we wanted to hear/were selling well.
His continued absence from the music scene makes nobody pine for the good old days of late 00's rock radio, because they never existed. They were only the last breaths of the early 00's rock revival before it finally died.
People like Daughtry and Nickelback hammered home the last nails in the coffin before we buried it.
If you like Daughtry, cool. Well, not really, but still. That's your business. But his music is like ass cheddar - it absolutely stinks and nobody in their right mind wants to consume it. There's not really any argument against this.
. They quietly reformatted with no announcement a couple years ago (I still noticed) and now all they play is Black Sabbath, The Stones, and Pink Floyd on repeat.
